How many Black Lotuses Printed?

Post by abc_exporters » Mon Jul 26, 2004 4:38 pm

I'm just curious exactly how many Black Lotuses were printed? Obviously there won't be as many around today, but in Alpha, Beta and Unlimited how many were there? Also this number would be the same for the rest of the P9 and rares they stopped printing after Unlimited?

HI
here is a list of numbers I found some time ago
Sounds realistic to me.
Correct me please if I am wrong.
Black Lotuses: 22.800 as of A/B/U (37800Total inc. CE and IE)


          1,100  Alpha Rare
          4,500  Alpha Uncommon
         16,000  Alpha Common
         85,500  Alpha Land (per picture)

          3,200  Beta Rare
         13,500  Beta Uncommon
         48,000  Beta Common
        171,500  Beta Land (per picture)

            5,000  International Collector's Set
           10,000  Collector's Set

         18,500  Unlimited Rare
         68,000  Unlimited Uncommon
        244,500  Unlimited Common
        872,500  Unlimited Land (per picture)

I do not understand your last sentence though?

Yes, the number is the same for all rares that were discontinued after unlimited such as gauntlet of might and illusionary mask too. The above figures seem ríght, although I thoguht I heard 16,000 Unlimited rares from elsewhere, but I think it was a mix up in my head :)

But the I'm guessing the number would be lower due to destroyed cards. I don't know if anyone else read this article (very early Inquest), but I guy was writing in about how 30 of his Lotuses were destroyed in a flood. I probably read this letter about 6 years ago and never forgot about it.

At most you can probably take off 10% from each of those numbers.
